Line 20: − − === Switch to Metacity window manager=== − Sugar [[Features/Metacity | switches]] the window manager from Matchbox to Metacity. Matchbox is designed for small devices that run all applications maximized. Sugar can run in devices with bigger screens and some applications break when run in Matchbox. Using Metacity instead means that some unsugarized apps would run better inside Sugar and that Sugar activities would behave better when run outside Sugar. Line 23:

=== Ad hoc Networking ===
The new ad hoc networking facilities allows users to connect with each other over wireless in an ad hoc manner without infrastructure like an Access Point. This is the so called under a tree scenario. OLPC provided that functionality based on hardware mesh. This [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking | feature]] allows to provide that functionality with nearly all the wireless hardware. Furthermore it allows you to do share an internet connection using the same mechanism.
